Hi all,For the life of me, I cannot get a fiber connection to work between a Catalyst 2960G with SFP ports, and the 3548XL gigabit ports...what am I missing?I thought the fiber might be the problem, as I was originally using Single-mode. But I tried...
Hi all,If you use a HWIC-4ESW in a router that supports it, can those 4 ports be individually configured as Fast Ethernet 2/3/4, etc? (I'm a firewall guy, so bear with me ) I'm getting confused by the "switch" aspect... Basically, I just need more ...
Hi all,This question isn't whether or not my hardware can handle full routes, it's more of a "how to present it to my boss so he can understand the difference" type question We have a 3845 that has plenty of RAM (512MB), that I am working on bringin...
Hi all,I know the order of route statements matter on a router, but how about on a PIX 515 running ver. 7?It's kind of weird, when I upgraded the device from 7.1(1) to 7.1(2)53, all of my route commands got reversed! So the default route is now at t...
Hi All,Wondering if anyone else here has seen this. I have a PIX 515E UR that died last week. When I say died, I mean that it powers on, but I can't connect to it with console or ethernet cables.The weird part: The power LED does NOT come on, but ...
All,It turned out that what I read WAS the problem...the cable was not long enough. I used a 10 foot fiber cable instead, and it now works.The other cable was only off by 6 inches, but I guess that made a big enough difference!Thanks to all that res...
True, the 3rd-party modules are NOT supported by Cisco, but that is in regards to a TAC request. The hardware itself is generally recognized by the switch, and gives no errors. I've used plenty of 3rd-party GBICs that have worked since Day 1.In thi...
Hi all,Thanks for the responses so far.I was thinking this was a problem between the modules, but both turned out to be SX. (The SFP in the 2960G is a generic module...not much identifying information on it other than "1000BASE-SX SFP)The GBIC is Cis...
Andrew,Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately....no dice.Both switches recognize the correct modules installed, but both say "disconnect". Really strange behavior.
rkalia1,That's a very good suggestion. I ran into that problem years ago with PIX 501s that only had the 10 or 50-user licenses.What I found out then, was that even though there were less than 10 devices on the network, a couple of machines had troj...
